Hello all,
I was given some very nice pieces of rosewood awhile
ago by a friend who asked if i could "use some rosewood"
and if it was no good it makes good firewood :o:o
He recently had his first grandaughter and asked if i
could make her something, so i thought a plaque with
name and date of birth engraved on would be a good idea ,
I managed to get some shed time today and produced
this.........
Just have to get it engraved now,,,,,,
So does anyone do engraving , cnc , or know someone
who does it ,
Any comments and advice appreciated as always:2tsup:

Hi steve, yeah, I like using rosewood, It does finish nicely
This one I finished with EEE and glow

Hi AJ. Thanks for your comments
It was engraved by a guy who engraves/etches glass and trophies
by sand blasting and then paints the letters In with a brush

of It,,,,, so I was very happy to pay to get it engraved for him,
